Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot flour
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 16 oz full fat canned coconut milk
  • salt and pepper about 1 tsp each
  • 1 lb organic ground turkey or chicken

Seasoning for ground turkey or chicken

  • 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning (or equal parts dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425° Fahrenheit.
  • Slice the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the two halves face-down on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the squash is cooking, get the turkey going. In a medium bowl mix all seasonings into he ground turkey. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add in the turkey. Break it into pieces with a spatula and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Remove squash from oven after 30 minutes and set aside to cool. Keep the oven on at 425°.
  • While the squash is cooling, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. Whisk together coconut milk and arrowroot flour in a bowl or jar and set aside.
  • Heat the same pan you cooked the turkey in over medium heat. Once hot, add mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add in minced garlic and mix well with the mushrooms, about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Next, whisk up the coconut milk mixture again and add to pan, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. The sauce will bubble and thicken, keep stirring to prevent burning. After 2 minutes turn heat off and stir in salt and pepper.
  • Now, put it all together. With a fork, scrape out the spaghetti squash “noodles” into a medium casserole dish. Add the cooked turkey, broccoli, and creamy garlic sauce. Mix everything together well.
  • Place back in the oven to bake for 15 more minutes. Remove and serve.
